Sync itunes photos on removable hard disk(ipod 80gb)

Hello,
I set that itunes is sync the photos from one hard disk (connected to my laptop by usb).The problem is that I don't connect this hard disk every time that I run itunes,so the settings in DEVICES /MY IPOD/PHOTOS is disapearing.And if I choose again the folder(on this hard disk) then is again deleting all the photos from Ipod and again copying them back(they are about 11000 so it's taking too much time).Do you have any advice?

Having been given an iPod video 60Gig as a present, I am sometimes forced to use it.
Recently I tried - I downloaded and installed latest itunes 7.5 on the PC running Windows XP.
Built up the library of music - tried to do a sync. So slow I nearly hit the PC. The transfer rate would merely get 40 Meg on in 5 minutes (thats my estimate all I know is it never finished). I tried to leave it running for 3 hours and still not finished - the size of music to transfer was about 2400 songs.
I then tried to use Vista Home Basic - with itunes 7.5 - it wouldnt even recognize the ipod.
After a few days of giving up and banging my head against the wall I tried Linux too - but that was slow too.
I eventually went back to Vista and de-installed itunes 7.5 - found version 6.05 and installed it. It went through like clockwork (well as clockwork as can be it was magically fast but fast enough to fill half of the 60Gig).
I then had the magic idea - why not update to 7.5 from 6.05 and guess what - its slow again painfully slow.
Version 7.5 *****!

ITunes 10.1, OSX 10.6.5, iOS 4.1 can't sync iTunes photos to a folder

I am on OSX 10.6.5, iTunes 10.1 and iOS 4.1 (3gs model). In iTunes I have photo syncing to a folder and everytime I try to sync, no photos go from iPhone -> folder on my mac. I've even tried deleting that iPod Photo Cache folder. No dice.
Any ideas anyone?

I was having this same issue with +iOS 4.1+, but using an older +PPC Mac+ running +Tiger 10.4.11+. My iTunes is older than yours, at version 9.2, but it exhibits the same behavior.
It seems that the iTunes interface for syncing photos is a *red herring*.
Look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 under *Mac: Transferring personal photos and video from your device to your Mac* .
Apple seems to now want to force us into using iPhoto for accessing photos on the iPhone, iPad, and +iPod Touch+....

Trying to reduce and organize photos on my Hard Disk

For the most part I have been keeping my photos on my working hard disk with only certain collections off line, but the hard disk is filling up more than I want. I have duplicates and unneeded photos.
1. Must I delete them only from the "PHOTOS" at the top of the list on the library name? (I know I can delete from an album and the photo stays in the library but I want some totally removed.)
2. I tried to Export "Originals" to another place on the disk, but does that remove them from the Aperture Library?
3. I need to change dates on many photos (because the camera they were taken with had PDT on it rather than the GMT+2 time they should have had). I changed the EXIF date on one photo and in the INFO window it says that the date was changed, but when I sort by date in the Light Table it still uses the original date.
Sigh, and thanks for any help.

To delete photos from your Aperture library, delete them from the projects view, then empty the Aperture trash.
To correct a wrong time zone setting in the camera select the images and use "Batch change" with the settings
"Camera time" is PDT and "Actual Time" is GMT+02.
2. I tried to Export "Originals" to another place on the disk, but does that remove them from the Aperture Library?
No, it only writes copies of the original files to a folder.

I get this message when syncing "itunes can not back up the ipod because a session could not be started" any idea of the problem?

Moving Photos on removable hard drive

If I have my photos on a removable hard drive and must re-install PE-8. Will my catalog including tags still be intact?

Glad you had success. You can check to see how many preview files have been built by checking the Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata folder with File Explorer:
/Users/[user name]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata
Right-click on the folder and select 'Properties.' Next to 'Contains' will be the file count representing the number of built previews. It should be the same as the number of pictures (100,000) or slightly more.
Creating previews for 100,000 image files will take a long time! My Windows 7 i7-860 processor system with 21 mp Canon 5D MKII raw files takes about 3 seconds to build one standard preview. Using this number for 100,000 previews:
100,000 x 3 seconds = 300,000 sec. = 5,000 min. = 83 hours = 3.5 days!

I have Itunes on an external hard disk, now it's not possible to upgrade my Itunes.

I have an external hard disk drive for my Itunes. Until now it's always been possible to upgrade Itunes.
Now I keep getting message E-drive not found. The hard disk is on the F-drive. And I can't find where I need to select the correct drive before installing.
It seems that it's not possible to select the drive where you want to upgrade your Itunes.

Itunes purchased to removable hard drive

As I have a laptop, the laptop has become slow due to my purchased being stored on it. I have a removable hard drive, so is there a way I can move my purchased to the removable hard drive and also to set-up itunes to automatically save future purchased to the removable hard drive.

How do you know that is the reason it has become slow? Unless your hard drive is getting very close to full, having songs on it is usually not a problem.
I have a removable hard drive, so is there a way I can... set-up itunes to automatically save future purchased to the removable hard drive.
Well if you really want to, repoint your iTunes Music folder to the removeable drive by going to Edit > Preferences > Advanced.
Once you do this, never start up iTunes without having the drive in place, or it will default back to the local drive and leave you with a chore.

Moving photos from one hard disk to another but not loosing the editing history on the photo

Hello,
I have one hard disk filling up with photos, so I have purchased a secondary hard disk to expand my storage. I would like to move my shoots from 2010 to that new hard disk, but I don't want to loose all of the edits saved on them in LR3. I have experimented with moving non-important images that have edits on them, then re-importing them. Unfortunately, LR3 does not preserve that history. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Adam Pendleton

Adam, reimporting is not the way to achieve what you want.
There are several ways to achieve your goal though:
1. Move the files with your OS from one drive to the other - best to move one folder if they are all in one (2010) and then relink in LR by right clicking the folder in the Library Folder panel and choosing "Update Folder Location".
2. Use Lightroom to move the folders in the Library by dragging and dropping them - this can be done one folder at a time only.

Photos from external hard disk to another

Is there a way to move photos straight from one external hard disk to another external hard disk?
Because MacBook Pro´s hard disk is too small (120 Gb) for my photos, I must use those external disks. The idea is that the original photos are in an external disk and in addition there are a couple of other disks as the vaults.

It's easy to see why all of this is confusing because of the poor human interface design of the "library location" feature of Aperture.
First, when you change your library location, you actually have to quit and restart the app. What a concept--I wonder why the orginal Mac team didn't think of this approach when you wanted to change the document you were working on in MacWrite? Instead of "Open" from the File menu, you could do it in "Preferences" and with a relaunch...
Secondly, if you point to a library on an external drive, and forget to mount that drive before launching, rather than telling you it can't find the library and asking what to do, it arbitrarily (and silently) decides to create a brand new library in your "Pictures" folder. Yuck.

Cold Hard Disk - iPod won't boot with bad folder icon.

I have a 5G iPod, and after a couple months of use, I found that the iPod will start to refuse to boot if it's anything less than 60ºF. I use it a lot, and right now it's cold out, around 40ºF.
We're a poor little white family up in costal Maine where the temperatures are low in the winter, around 20-40ºF. When I drive around in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I have the heat turned up so that I'm comfortably warm, but my iPod isn't. It will play music fine when it's warmer than room temperature, but I will notice when driving, sometimes the music will just stop -- I look at the iPod and notice that the whole thing is just frozen up - no controls work, the lock doesn't show/disappear when i turn on/off the hold switch, and when I reboot it it will show that silver apple, then light the screen with a grayscale image of a 'Folder with exclamation point' icon, seemingly not finding the iPod Operating System on its hard disk. The unit will refuse to work again unless i bring it to higher temperatures. When it does work, I have to keep it under my leg when I'm driving, and that sometimes doesn't work.
It will work fine indoors, unless it's been in my bedroom overnight, which gets down to 55-60º at night (i have a room thermometer in here), which is normal for us.
Also, if I hook up the iPod to my computer, even if I force it into Disk Mode (grayscale DO NOT DISCONNECT logo), the computer has a hard time mounting it.
I can't imagine that the hard disk wasn't designed to operate in such a normal temperature range for us distant poor Maine residents. There must be something wrong with it. Will I need to send it away?

Itunes library on external hard disk

I have my itunes library on an external hard disk and use two laptops to access the library. It works fine but when I add new music it only shows on the laptop I used to add the music. The only way I can view it on both laptops is by using the add folder command within itunes.
Is there anyway of getting the library to update itself on both laptops to ensure both laptops view the same music all the time?

Why not move your itunes library ITL file onto the exHD?
Then when you add music to it, the actual music file plus the database itunes uses will be available to each laptop.
For example, say laptop #2 has the most recent additions. Close itunes. Find the ITL file, on XP the default path is
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Drag that over to your exHD.
Now start itunes again, but press *and hold* the shift key. Choose the exHD copy of the ITL when prompted. Now close itunes, connect the exHD t laptop #2 and open itunes again using that shift method.

Alternate method of removing hard disk from 13" MacBook (aluminium body)?

Hi,
I've recently encountered the need to replace my MacBook's hard disk but when I tried to do so, the head of the one screw that I was required to remove to get the hard disk out got stripped, even though I was using the right size screw driver. I guess I just wasn't careful enough.
Does anyone know if there's an alternate method for me to remove the hard disk as getting that one little screw out now seems next to impossible without doing real damage to my MacBook?
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Best thing to do at this point is take it to a repair shop. They should be able to drill the screw out and even replace it.

IPhoto not syncing certain photos to iPad/Apple TV/iPod Touch

I have an Event which contains a mix of photos and movies imported from my Canon camera (as I have done successfully in the past). The strange thing is that many of the photos of this particular Event do not sync to my iPad, Apple TV, or iPod Touch. (I'm not syncing the movies.) This has always worked in the past.
I tried rebulding the iPhoto Library, but it seems to get stuck at 55%. The one work around that I found could work is to drag one of the photos that don't sync out of the Event in iPhoto onto my desktop. Then, I re-import it. That photo then shows up on my devices when I sync them. However, I would think I don't have to do this. Any thoughts?
The only difference that I think might be affecting the sync is that I previously uploaded the photos from my Canon camera to my iPad via the iPad Camera Connection Kit as an easy way to quickly upload my photos to Facebook while I was away. When I got home, I then imported them into iPhoto from the Camera --not the iPad -- as I have done in the past. However, as mentioned above, when I go to sync the photos to my devices, many of them don't show up.
Tony

Note that I am not getting any error messages when I sync such as the photo being too big or the wrong format. I'm using the same format/camera/etc as I have always done and even recent photos that I have imported work fine. The only difference is using the iPad Camera Connection Kit.
